Resistors for repair, calibration and builds. Browse Metal Film Resistors for 1% and tighter values, Wirewound Resistors for power and 0.1% precision work, and Carbon Resistors for vintage restoration. This page also carries resistor networks in DIP and SOIC packages, SMD chip resistors and current shunts.
Many listings are multi-piece packs; the title gives the pack count, value, wattage and tolerance. To read a color-banded part: four bands are two digits, a multiplier and tolerance; five bands are three digits, a multiplier and tolerance. For a replacement, match the value, match or exceed the wattage, and match the tolerance where the circuit sets a reference or a gain.
Makers include Beyschlag, Xicon, Tepro (precision wirewound), Vishay Dale, Dale, Welwyn, CTS, KOA Speer and Victoreen.
